downright beggars; they are willing to
put up tine little money they have. but
they want to do it through the hands
of these eminent gentlemen. believing
that that course will secure them sure
and big returns. A reporter sat in Mr..
Sagc's office the other day when man
once well known in Wall street came
in and interrupted the conversation be-
tween Mr., Sage and the reporter by

California; Early Prices.

OF the miners life and of prices in
those early days NJ. de Narigny gives an
animated account:
Life was rude and expenses were enor-
nous. Grouped in camps in order that
they might the better resist Indian forays,
the miners lived in tents. generally two
or three under the same canvas, partners
dividing the labor, each in his turn under
taking the preparation Of the meals. A
stove, kettle, gridiron and coffee pot
were the kitchen utensils: dry leaves or
straw served for the bed, and the only
luXuries were carbines and reviewers,
carefully taken care of and always ready
for use. In the center Of the camp was a
huge tent, that of the storekeeper. His
stock in trade was composed of sacks of
flour. barrels of salt pork, tea, and coffee,
candles and soap; then shovels, picks.
crowbars, pewter plates, powder and shot.
red flannel shirts, jack boots, coarse
clothing, and finally and especially gin
and whisky.
''OD the counter were scales for weigh
ing the gold dust. There was no such
thing as coined gold and silver All trans
actions were on the cash basis. The miner
brought forth from his channels skin bag
in pinches or in pellets the price of his
purchases in gold dust. Gold circulated
ut $12 or f14 per ounce. The storekeeper
sold il for $40 in San Francisco. Some
few miners known for their sobrietv and
probity enjoyed in these stores a little
credit, which allowed them to live through
evil days without dying of hunger; but
these were rare exceptions Book Re.
